Virginia: CMS Rating Breakdown
Virginia has 289 CMS-certified nursing homes, reflecting a diverse ownership structure across the state. According to current CMS data, 219 facilities are for-profit operations, 60 are nonprofit, and 10 are government-run. The average Five-Star overall rating across these facilities stands at 3.02 out of 5.
The Five-Star rating system provides a broad snapshot of nursing home performance but carries documented limitations. State-level averages reflect aggregate data rather than facility-specific assessments and should not be construed as a definitive quality metric or judgment of individual homes. These figures serve as contextual information only and do not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice for facility selection or evaluation.
When making decisions regarding nursing home placement or care, prospective residents and their families should consult each facility's individual Care Compare profile on the CMS website. The per-facility pages on Care Compare provide detailed, facility-specific performance data, inspection histories, staffing ratios, and other granular information necessary for informed decision-making. This direct review of individual facility profiles remains the appropriate standard for any substantive assessment or care-related decision.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
